+ Improve robustness of mdate-sh script.
+ * lib/mdate-sh: Sanitize zsh behavior on startup, to ensure
+ $ls_command is word-split properly upon invocation.
+ (error): New function.
+ (main): Use it. Improve error checking to avoid endless loop
+ in case $ls_command gave bogus output. Fix eval quotation.
+ * tests/mdate6.test: New test, to expose eval quotation error.
+ * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
